Ballerina Makeover Parties At Dance Project

February 13, 2010

Dance Project is now hosting birthday/ballerina makeover parties!  All funds raised by parties, after expenses, will go to the Project Nutcracker Fund.

Each party will cost $150.00 and will include:  Party host and assistant, set-up and clean up of tables and chairs. a Dance Project gift for the birthday girl, and balloons for everyone! 

Activities include:  a Ballerina Makeover (stage makeup and hair styled in bun), a half-hour dance class, and tutus for guests to borrow during their class.  Guests should wear a leotard, if possible.  Please let us know if boys will be attending so we can arrange alternate costuming.

Payment is due at the time of the party, and all proceeds after expenses will be donated to Project Nutcracker.  Other parties besides birthdays can be customized to fit our studio space.  $150 fee covers up to fifteen guests.  Please add $10 for each additional guest.

For information and scheduling, please call (314) 843-4220, or speak to Barbara Craig at Dance Project.  Parties will be hosted at the Fenton location.

A new kind of Nutcracker

February 7, 2010

Dance Project Saint Louis is proud to announce that we have begun pre-production for “The Endless Forest Nutcracker.”

Based upon Tale of Tales‘ interactive screensaver/MMO, this Nutcracker will explore the tale of Clara and her familiar Christmas journey in a new and heartwarming way.  We are excited to bring this new ballet to the St. Louis dance community, and we are looking forward to working with local students in the Children’s Cast again!

Auditions for the Children’s Cast will be announced later this year.  If you would like further information about the production, are interested in joining our fundraising campaign, Project Nutcracker, or would like to be notified directly about auditions, please sign up for our email list or use the Contact form.
